Dorian Gray: A naïve young man. A lovelorn artist. A corruptible Lord. A deal with the Devil. It all paints a dark picture of a Victorian London and how the rich and infamous party at their peril. Here, the telling of time and its consequence of experience for life's treasures' takes its toll on the body, mind and soul. The haunting and bleak tale of power, greed, vanity and inevitable self-destruction is ever present amongst the deceit, opium dens and sin.

Dorian Gray Comments

Well I saw the comments and there's a lot of critics about this film... And so, I was a litle bit skeptical about it, but I had a surprise. This Dorian was sexier and more grittier. Very strong sexual undertones. It was unique and after awhile the story hooks you in and doesn't let go as I was expecting for some real menace &amp; darkness that gripped you throughout.
At first I didn't think the actor playing Dorian Gray was going to cut it, but Ben Barnes really pulled it off. I really got into the story and regretted when the movie didn't show any of Dorian Gray's adventures abroad and jumped straight to his return. Elaborating would have deepened the story. However it seemed too short, felt rushed and didn't delve into the depths that were required to make this stand out as an excellent movie.
Nevertheless the lead was convincing and strong, as was Colin Firth I believe with a better script deviling into the vanity, debauchery, and impulsiveness would have sealed this as a classic.

The film gradually shows a temperate and precise intention to reduce the corruption of the protagonist (which is one of the cores of the novel), sort of &quot;made a waxwork of his morals&quot;, to a mere lascivous perversion, rendered in terms of intoxications, lustful visions.... which I found inmoderate and scattered. The second core is the other key: ENVY. I don't understand why the writers can't adapt this novel taking care of both cores.

Never read the book before, but I'm going to order it right now!
I'll give the movie a 7/10
It switches too early from scene to scene sometimes without proper sequence, but all in all the big picture is clear and so is the message.
Great movie, even for a second time watch!

A Good Version of Dorian Gray - well acted out and the scenery and sets are beautiful! As far as the story goes - I very much liked it. I realize there are changes from the book which is nothing unusual. So many films are different from the book and yes sometimes criticized harshly for the changes OR they are praised for it. Yes I will watch this film again!
10/10

Dorian Gray Reviews

Oscar Wildes novel was much better than the movie.Film maker should have delved deeper in to dorians travels abroad, i think that that would have made the movie's story better i was doubtful of ben barnes as dorian gray but he actually did a good job of playing him .plus the ending wasquite good.

freakiest thing ever to sum it up. I first heard of Dorian Grey while watching "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" and watching this movie after that was, at least to me, a huge disappointment. I mean I was thinking that they'd take him off as Jack the Ripper or something weird like that. Not just some creepy guy making a deal with the devil. That was the whole story right there. Deals with the Devil always backfire he will never give you what you truly desire. As Dorian learns the hard way in this film

the music in this film was quite good, though at times it overpowered the actions it accompanied and actually gave a negtive effect
it was well cast, the actors were phenomenal, although ben barnes over did it in the scenes where he was either terrified or freaked out of his mind and colin firth was fantastic as usual
there were times when the story line became jumpy and a little choppy, particularly in the beginning
it wasn't terrible, it dragged on a little bit but is definately worth a watch
